7.39e (Core) Mid | Eternal Empowerment / Diminishing Return

By dotacoach.gg

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Magnus:

Skewer destroys trees which can be useful against certain heroes.
When fighting close to pillars and cliffs, consider Skewering opponents on them.
Magnus has huge base damage that is further amplified by Empower. Use to win the lane last hit wise.
When an opponent is close to your tower, consider making Shockwave into Skewer play.
Ask your teammates to make stacks for you as you can clear them with ease once Empower is maxed out.
Consider turning during Reverse Polarity animation to be able to Skewer stunned units towards allies right away.
Once you have Blink Dagger, make use of it immediately before opponents are able to scout it.
Avoid showing yourself at the start of the fight. Wait for opponents to clump up and do your combo.
Pick up Aghanim`s Shard later in the game to increase Skewer range and do more damage when pushing enemy heroes against trees and cliffs.

Main skill and item combo order: Empower => Blink Dagger => Reverse Polarity => Skewer => Attack => Shockwave
